TFU - Urban Fluvial Transport – navigability
In order to enable navigability in the Tietê River, Pinheiros River, Billings dam and Taiaçupeba dam, are necessary several civil engineering works, such as: canals, locks and dams. The lateral Billings-Taiaçupeba canal, which connects the Billings dam and Taiaçupeba dam, is a proposition of a vector for urbanization in which the water is the axis that structures the infrastructures, public equipments and dwellings.
Urban Fluvial Transport - navigability - Complementary Proposals: Small Metropolitan Waterway ring and Guarapiranga reservoir
The small Metropolitan Waterway ring – a complementary proposition for the Metropolitan Waterway ring, is formed by Tamanduateí River, Riberão dos Meninos River, Ribeirão dos Couros River and Alvarenga-Couros artificial canal. Besides providing navigation, this proposition will contribute for the water level control in rainy periods. The other complementary proposition is the connection of the Guarapiranga dam with the Pinheiros River, through a lateral canall with dam.
Urban Fluvial Transportation of Public Cargo - Circuits: Dredging sediments
The sediments that accumulate in the riverbeds, originated from the slit up process and the improper garbage disposal, need to be constantly removed from the waterway. In order to reach this ongoing maintenance, are proposed two types of floating dredgers. The fix port-dredgers keep berthed narrow to downstream from the mouth of the bigger rivers, providing maximum prevention of the sediments to arrive at the waterway. On the other hand, the float mobile dredger is a vessel that moves along the canal and cleans the mouth of the smaller affluent rivers and the bottom of the creek dams.
Urban Fluvial Transportation of Public Cargo - Circuits: Mud
The mud, waste originated from the process of the treatment of the water and sewage, needs to be deposited in a proper site. For such, it is proposed the implantation of mud-ports beside the sewage treatment stations (Estações de Tratamento de Esgoto – ETE) and the water treatment station (Estação de Tratamento de Água – ETA) - wich are in the waterway’s influence area. The mud will be transported from the mud-port to the tri-port through the urban cargo ship (Barco Urbano de Carga – BUC) – which is formed by double hulls and locked cargo. In the tri-port the mud will be processed and will transform into blocks for paving.
TFUCP - Urban Fluvial Transportation of Public Cargo - Circuits: non-selected waste
The term “waste”, used in this study, refers to the follow categories of solid wastes. Urban solid wastes, waste generated from domiciles, commercial and services establishments, sweepings, mowing, scaling and cutting; Industrial solid waste; Services and Health care solid waste; Rural solid waste, Special and Differentiated solid waste. The proposal of this study is that the non selected waste be conducted from Trans-ports, where they subsequently will follow through the waterway, to Tri-ports. Taking into consideration the negatives impacts for the humans health and the environment, once the non selected waste is in the tri-ports, it will be treated, processed and will receive a properly final destination.
TFUCP - Urban Fluvial Transportation of Public Cargo - Circuits: no nrubble
Rubbles are the civil engineering construction waste generated in the constructions, remodeling, repair and demolition works. These residues are mortar, sand, ceramic, concrete, stone, brick, paint, non-mineral materials - such as wood, paper, plastic, metal and organic matter, among others. It is proposed that the rubble is forwarded to trans-ports which will be trans-hipped to urban cargo ships and sent to Tri-ports. There, the waste will be treated, crushed and may return to the supply chain in the form of aggregates or clusters with similar function of the sand
TFUCP - Urban Fluvial Transportation of Public Cargo - Circuits: pre-selected waste and rubble
The waste and treated rubble that are previously selected to receive a properly treatment and final disposal are the waste routed to Eco-ports. For the companies that have a policy of separating their wastes or people who wish to deposit properly their household waste, the Eco-ports are the places that are going to receive those deposits. The final destination of those cargos will be Tri-port where the materials will be recycled and sent for re-use as raw material in the production chain.
TFUCP - Urban Fluvial Transportation of Public Cargo - Circuits: Land - soil and rocks from excavation
The Land (soil and rocks) resulting from land preparation and excavation of sites for civil engineering works will be routed from trans-ports to Tri-ports through the waterway. In the Tri-ports, the land will be separated into clay soil - which can be the raw material for tiles and solid bricks, sandy soil, land for planting and sand. These materials will be used preferably in public or private works.
TFUCP - Urban Fluvial Transportation of Public Cargo - Circuits: lacustrine touristic crossings
AThroughout the Waterway Ring will be constructed twenty-four lacustrine touristic crossing. In those ports will dock urban passenger ships, touristic ships and ferries that are intended for crossing the dams.
TFUCC - Urban Fluvial Transportation of Commercial Cargo - Circuits: raw material for civil construction
AAfter processing in Tri-ports, the waste converted into raw materials for industry and the aggregates for the construction industry will be forwarded for use in industry. Thus, it closes the cycle of reverse logistics, one of the principles of this project.
TFUCC - Urban Fluvial Transportation of Commercial Cargo - Circuits: greengrocers
The greengrocers’ products may be transported through waterway. In the ports near the greengrocers’ belt, the production will be transferred to boats and carried to various Eco-ports over the Waterway Ring. In these ports, the boats will dock at the pier in which will be set a market for the sale of those products.
